Free Form® Habitat® Fire Safe

Posted On: May 04, 2016

Epoxy putty is a high density epoxy sculpting putty that is flame rated (E84, Class A). Habitat® Fire Safe is solvent-free and contains no VOCs. Working time is 90 minutes and cure time is 16 hours at room temperature (73°F/23°C). Epoxy cures to a very hard, flame and heat resistant material that is easily painted. Fire Safe does not contain any carcinogens (cancer causing agents).

Free Form® Habitat® Fire Safe is suitable for interior and exterior theming applications and general sculpting. It is also certified 'aquarium safe' and is used by aquariums and zoos to make hyper-realistic trees, vines, rocks, coral and other display elements.

Use with Habitat® Folding Powder  fold powder into epoxy putty to thicken and reduce sag when applied to a vertical surface. Folding Powder also reduces stickiness and makes the epoxy more handle-able.

Once putty is applied, it can be stamped with a silicone rubber stamp to create repeating patterns with intricate detail over a large surface area. Surface can be smoothed with alcohol or water. New Habitat® Fire Safe will bond to cured Habitat® Fire Safe without delamination. Habitat® Fire Safe will not melt foam, and can be used as an EPS foam coating.

Free Form® Habitat® Fire Safe is also an excellent repair cement and bonds permanently to itself,

UVO® UV-Resistant Colorants

Posted On: May 04, 2016

UVO® Colorants are concentrated, phthalate-free urethane color pigments that resist ultra-violet light. By adding a small amount of UVO® to a Smooth-On epoxy, urethane rubber, plastic or foam product, these pigment dispersions will yield opaque castings (vs. SO-Strong color tints that can yield translucent urethane castings). For glowing fluorescent color effects, use Ignite® colorants.

UVO® colorants are highly concentrated, offer excellent dispersion and consistent color. A very small amount will color a proportionally large amount of liquid epoxy or urethane. One drop will color 1 pint (454 grams) of mixed material. The more you add in proportion to the volume of liquid material, the more dramatic the color effect. Recommended loading range is .01% to 3% of total system weight. Do not overload the liquid system or cure inhibition / oozing may occur.

User determines amount to add; If this is your first time adding color to an epoxy or urethane system, you may want to test the color effect by adding a few drops to a small amount of material and observe the outcome. It may take a few test castings to attain the desired color outcome. Important: Results may vary depending on UV resistance of epoxy or urethane product.

Ease Realese 300 Series

Posted On: May 04, 2016

Ease Release 300  is a high performance, production proven release agent formulated for polyurethane elastomers and epoxy resins along with excellent release of polyurethane elastomers and microcellular foams. Ease Release 300 leaves very little build-up on the molds resulting from isocyanate or epoxy reactions, while maintaining part cleanability with common degreasing solvents. Cleaned parts molded with Ease release 300 can be painted or bonded. Ease Release 300 is effective on all mold surfaces such as steel, aluminum, chrome, epoxy, and RTV urethane and silicone mold materials.

FEATURES

Ease Release 300 is easy to apply, fast drying and effective over a broad temperature range from 70°F to 500°F.

Ease Release 300 provides excellent release with a glossy finish. Precise duplication of mold details, less mold maintenance and down time which results in greater productivity.

APPLICATION

  1. Thoroughly clean your mold with Mold Cleaner 2508 or any suitable cleaner to remove all traces of previous coating and oils.
  2. Apply Ease Release 300 using aerosol spray for bulk grades. Hold the can or spray gun 6 to 8 inches from the& mold surface to ensure a light even coating. When the& molds are new or have been blasted with an abrasive “season” the mold by applying a heavy coating of release. Heat the mold to process temperature, then wipe the excess with a rag and reapply a light coating of Ease Release 300 before regular molding.
  3. Ease Release 300 is fast drying and requires no baking during the normal molding process.
  4. Reapply a light coating before each molding.

FINISHING

Thorough cleaning of molded parts is required prior to staining, painting or bonding. For suggested cleaning procedures, consult your Mann technical representative.

UV Curing and what can it do for you!

Posted On: May 04, 2016

Ultraviolet curing (commonly known as UV curing) is a photochemical process in which high-intensity ultraviolet light is used to instantly cure or “dry” inks, coatings or adhesives. Offering many advantages over traditional drying methods, UV curing has been shown to increase production speed, reduce reject rates, improve scratch and solvent resistance, and facilitate superior bonding.

UV Curing was originally introduced in the 1960's, UV curing has been used in many industries including automotive, telecommunications, electronics, graphic arts, converting and metal, glass and plastic decorating. UV curing is a multi-billion dollar worldwide industry, and now constitutes approximately 4% of the industrial coatings market. UV curing has grown more than 10% per year, displacing conventional water and solvent-based thermal drying processes due to its increased productivity, improvement of product quality and performance, and environmentally friendly characteristics.

Think of how this could help you. How it could cut your working time in half, bring up your productivity reduce your cost, cut the amount of waste you have in unused product. There is no solvent to evaporate, no environmental pollutants, no loss of coating thickness, and no loss of volume. This is how you end up with higher productivity in less time.

Please give us a call at (631) 920-5079 for pricing on the UV curing system, they are not up on the website.
